Rich, if a road accident happens, it happens and the parties are generally all present.
If violent crime happens, the guilty party disappears.
The difference is that revenue can be collected from road users but a knife-wielding criminal will only cost the government money.
I am well aware of the arguments you make, but they just don't make sense in the real world. Unfortunately, i have had friends who have been attacked and grievously injured in street brawls. The CCTV evidence has been too shoddy to be admissible in court and the aggravators have been let free. However, i have never known anyone who's been in a road traffic collision and not had the other party stop and identify themselves.
So, where do you think the priority lies? I'd say it's pretty obvious and i'd think twice about your comments..
